This unique property presents an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in a piece of history. Originally constructed in the 1840s as a grain barn, this spacious detached structure has undergone several significant extensions over the years and comes with full planning permission from Newark & Sherwood District Council (ref: 22/01761/ful) for conversion into a residential dwelling.
Nestled in the semi-rural village of Besthorpe, this property enjoys easy access to the A1133, facilitating convenient travel to Newark, Lincoln, and Gainsborough. The approved plans envision transforming the barn into a four-bedroom home featuring an en-suite master bedroom and a separate family bathroom. The proposed layout emphasizes an open-plan design on the ground floor, which includes a large living/dining area and kitchen, alongside additional reception rooms, a utility room, and a ground-floor bathroom.
The total site encompasses approximately 826 square meters, providing ample outdoor space that can be tailored for low-maintenance gardens and parking options. Furthermore, the project includes plans for an oak-framed double garage—an attractive addition that enhances both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Significant preparatory work is already completed; structural assessments along with environmental and flood risk surveys have been successfully conducted. The property is connected to mains electricity and drainage systems, allowing for immediate renovation efforts without delays related to basic services.
Besthorpe itself is characterized by its picturesque surroundings and proximity to local amenities. While it offers the tranquility of village life with attractions such as nature reserves and community spaces like 'The Lord Nelson' pub, essential services are easily accessible in nearby Collingham—just two miles away—which boasts schools, shops, dining options, and health facilities.
For investors or those wishing to create their dream home in a charming location with rich development potential, this property stands out as an attractive prospect. With no onward chain involved in the sale process, you could embark on this exciting project without delay. This is more than just a renovation; it's an opportunity to breathe new life into a historic structure while enjoying all the benefits of modern living in a desirable setting.
